From the village, a street then a path descends toward the mill, bordered by its canal and the stream, beyond which are meadows surrounded by trees. While the mill's location is very old, the current building dates from the first half of the 19th century. An exclusive fishing right is attached to the property. The entrance is marked by a white-painted wooden gate that opens onto a paved courtyard, with the living quarters on one side and a garden and pool on the other. A walkway over the canal allows access to the sluices. Renovated, the mill consists of two buildings. The main wing, square in shape, is raised over two stories. The facades are plastered to reveal the stone and are pierced with openings, some of which are semi-circular with brick framing. An open loggia to the west overlooks the courtyard and the river. The gabled roof of tiles is topped with two Jacobin dormers. Another wing, rectangular, is raised over one level and is distinguished by its slate roofing.This description has been automatically translated from French.
